Abstract:
Ion exchange, which is commonly used to alter the optical and mechanical properties of glasses usually involves a one-for-one substitution of an alkali cation (Na +1 ) from the glass by a monovalent dopant cation (Ag +1 ). The structural chemistry of this process, however, is far from understood. In this study we have used XAFS spectroscopy to determine the environments of sodium in a tetrasilicate and aluminosilicate glass and also ion exchange the sodium for silver. We find that the coordination number of sodium falls in the presence of aluminium, but that this is also accompanied by an increase in site disorder. By contrast, the environment of ion exchanged silver is less disordered, the nearest neighbour coordination resembling that of Ag 2 O. The presence of aluminium in the glass is clearly effective in removing some of the steric constraints of mobile cations, defining preferred routes for ion exchange.
